Elevators

Conversations overheard on New York elevators at different times, on different days.

Hearst Tower, 34th floor:

Man: “So do you still have that crazy neighbor?”

Woman: “No, well … me and my boyfriend broke-up.”

Man: “Oh.”

Woman: “Yeah, so I moved out. I have different neighbors now. Equally annoying.”

Man: “Well I’m sorry to hear that. I had no idea.”

Woman: “No, it’s okay. It was for the best.”

Man: “Well when did it happen if I may?”

Woman: “April. Late April. It’s fine. Really.”

Man: “And you’re in Brooklyn or Manhattan? Brooklyn.”

Woman: “Brooklyn, yeah-yeah. Prospect Heights. Across the street from the museum. I love it.”

Ding!

Woman: “Well take care.”

Man: “Okay, bye.”

Exit

Old Woman: “Be careful what you ask.”

Hennessy corporation, 2nd floor:

Woman: Did you see Chrissy come in?

Man: Yeah! Yeah, I did. She looks great.

Woman: And so happy.

Man: I know.

Woman: She seems so happy now. She’s wearing jeans all the time!
